In our lives most try and help others,
Help bring their troubles to an end.
It becomes our way of life
And most are so grateful to us,
So we put more effort and kindness
Into that help and goodness we give.
But sometimes we need to sit back,
Sit back and bring our thoughts together,
As occasionally it may be necessary to do something,
Do something for yourself,
Before continuing to help others.

So true. Self healing through poetic outbursts has been my first aid.
Thank you d a, we all have our ways of self healing.

Why yes. And St James Day yesterday, Sunday.
James and John were asking for a high place. Then the other 10 disciples squabbled with them. Jesus taught them of it not being all 'me, me, me'.
Either that, or He sent me to them, to punish them by singing to them. lol.
Thanks Orchi.

yeah, wise words
to remind us, of life's simple truths
before we try and save someone else
we must first insure
we have our own oxygen masks, of survival
in place...!
a wonderful message and read Andy
(my go to farewell song
is a predictable: 'My Way' by Sinatra;
cynically self-indulgently stubborn
that'll be: me
even after I'm, long gone... lol)
Thank you Mek. Yes 'My Way' is the way to go.

A little give and take goes a long way.
It surely does AP.

Time out for yourself, totally, for we all need to recharge as well. Sometimes the best time out is to do absolutely nothing, I mean to go blank, mentally and physically.
As far as your wish to be around for a long time, HE/SHE got your message.
Thank you Suresh.
